Guest Reviews
- Kate (10/5): - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an amazing stay at Secret Garden Beach Resort in Koh Samui! The room was beautiful, modern, and very private, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The on-site restaurant had delicious, reasonably priced food, and if you want to explore, there are plenty of other great eating options nearby, including convenience stores like 7-Eleven just steps away. The beach is absolutely stunning, with easy access right from the resort. The front desk helped us book day trips to nearby islands, making everything smooth and hassle-free—they know which piers to use and provide good prices, which is such a time-saver. While I would have loved kayak rentals nearby, and jet skis and hydroboards are pricey (though fun to watch!), the massages were very reasonable, and the pool is cute, even if most people will spend their time on the beach. The hotel decor is gorgeous, and walking through the property feels like stepping into a lush, peaceful oasis. The bathrooms were beautiful, and the free breakfast was excellent—no need to pre-order, just enjoy it when you’re ready. The staff went above and beyond, including helping my group get to a day trip on short notice, which was amazing. The casual, relaxed vibe of the resort makes it feel welcoming and stress-free. Overall, this resort offers great value, stunning beach access, excellent food, and amazing staff. I would definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Koh Samui!
- verna (10/5): - Great staff
- Yannik (8/5): Good place to stay - Great value for the money! Recommended.
- Alexander (10/5): - Super Hotel, tolles Essen schönes kleines Hotel Preis Leistung 👍 Top 👍
- Karilyn (10/5): - The Secret Garden is a gem, with beautifully kept grounds, and pool. Our poolside bungalow was unique and spacious. The restaurant/bar with live entertainment is an asset. And being steps away from the beach was wonderful. Highly recommend.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Secret Garden - Pleasant, quiet, hotel right on the beach. Breakfast was expensive. Room was comfortable, Wi-Fi worked well. Nice beach, small pool, excellent staff.
- William (10/5): - Nice property near airport and ferry terminal
- Nelmie (10/5): - Friendly staff
- Michael (10/5): - It was very good for the beachfront
- ron (6/5): - Resort and accommodations are pretty good. However, the beach view from YouTube looks great. However, once you are there, you can see that the beach is very polluted and you will not be able to bathe in the beach. You will be exploring other places to visit for some beach.
- Bea (10/5): You NEED to stay here - Couldn't recommend this hotel enough - our favourite stay in the whole of thailand. Amazing staff, amazing food, rooms are even more beautiful than the pictures, RIGHT on the beach and the best doggy ever 💕
- Pitipun (6/5): - Great entertainment and food. Good view of the sea from restaurant. The room was rather outdated, concrete and neglected. Parking spaces were limited
- Hephzibah (10/5): - Extremely picturesque. Staff lovely. Great value for money. My highlights were the shady trees surrounding the pool and the beautiful restaurant.
- Alice (10/5): Great location and room, a little loud at night - We stayed here for a night after our ferry back from Koh Phangan. Location is great. Just 2 minutes down the road from Big Buddha pier and 10 minutes from the airport. Really clean, spacious room and friendly staff, especially the man at reception who was incredibly helpful. The food at the restaurant was fairly decent, although the included breakfast was a little small. The main issue we had was the noise and music from nearby at night - we could hear people on the beach/near our room by the pool very clearly which was a bit annoying. Overall though a great little place on the beach, would definitely recommend for a short stay.
- Cheryl (10/5): Great spot near the pier & airport - The service at Secret Garden is fantastic. The ambience & outlook are lovely and the live music on Sunday night is fantastic. Secret Garden is close to the airport & ier so it's convenient
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This was a perfect setting for a quiet and relaxing few days. The staff were welcoming and very attentive. The food in the restaurant was amazing and the informal, relaxed atmosphere provided opportunities to read, swim, sunbathe and generally chill out.
- Cecilia (8/5): Beside the Big Buda beach ferry - The hotel is very well located if you need a place closed to the Ferry and the airport. The food and service at the restaurant is very good. The room is good and clean.
- Valerie (8/5): - We had great 6 igts gy in the secret beach garden last week .we stayed in a beach bungalow . N2 . Bed was very comfortable, lovely breakfast . Great staff . Nice massage . Music on Sunday night . Happy hour could be a better deal . Bathroom would need a bit of looking after but good order . Nice Beach .overall a great stay
- Stefan (10/5): - Our stay was absolutely fantastic! We had the best relaxing time! It's was great not being in the busy area of Koh Samui, which made it feel like paradise!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - -
- Matthew (10/5): - This is my second stay here and I am really glad I returned. The location is stunning, right on the beach with a great sunset view. Pool is lovely. The staff are so helpful and friendly. The restaurant does great food. I really enjoyed being there on Sunday evening for the live music too. The bungalow is clean and comfortable. Everything about this place is great!
- Adrian (8/5): It was fine - It was fine but I was put in there last minute as my hotel was shut for renovation
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The location of the resort is very convenient, near to the main road and next to the sea.
- Gregory (10/5): Hidden gem - I had an amazing stay at Secret Garden. I loved the rooms. The little hut buildings were large, comptable, clean and in fantastic shape. The bed was extremely comfortable. The accessibility to the pool, beach and restaurant was exceptional. The check in was thorough and the staff escorted me to my room. All of the restaurant/bar staff were attentive to me my needs and they were always interested in how I was enjoying myself. The food was delicious. I especially enjoyed the break and special Sunday night live music with buffet. I would highly recommend Secret Garden for its very relaxing and welcoming atmosphere.
- Sarinya (6/5): Good hotel by the beach, Great view - Good hotel by the beach with Great view and reasonably price! The beach might have sharp objects like see shells and broken glasses. Each room also got a little balcony with seats in the front. However, there are many cats around here. The first morning, we got the cat vomiting on the seat. The second morning, we got vomit in the shoe. However, the staff came to clean up right away. Our experience here could have been much better without cat vomits.
- Lou (10/5): Great! - Only stayed one night but loved the pool side bungalow. Air con not brilliant but everything else great. Staff very friendly. Would go back.
- Alex (10/5): A little bit of Paradise - Secret Garden Beach Resort is a really lovely, relaxing place to stay. The grounds are well maintained, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the service is excellent. The beach front is clean and fairly quiet, and is only a minute walk from any of the rooms/huts. The restaurant has fantastic food at reasonable prices - I recommend trying their smoothies/shakes as they’re delicious. Everyone was friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. I loved the place so much I’ve already booked to go back!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Hot water didn’t work, but was fixed the same day. The restaurant has great food and cocktails as well
- Verified traveler (10/5): - So cute and quaint and rooms were very clean and modern. Pool was a little small but very cute. I would highly reco this hotel is you want a small intimate resort. It would also be great for a group booking.
- Jennifer (10/5): GREAT CLEAN VALUE FOR MONEY - Everything was WONDERFUL...staff was AMAZINGLY HELPFUL. Restaurant food was delicious and moderately priced. Beach was very clean.
- jen (10/5): - In a fantastic location right on the beach. The staff couldn’t have done more for us, they’re lovely. The restaurant at the hotel is excellent. I would recommend renting a bike with the hotel as it is very cheap and easy to do and a good way of getting around the island. I can’t recommend this resort enough. I will be staying here again.
- Sheryl (10/5): Perfect location - Beautiful setting! Rooms are nice and clean, grounds are absolutely stunning and the staff is friendly and helpful. Beach is beautiful and swimmable, close enough to Fisherman’s Village for the night market but far enough away from the hustle and bustle so you can relax.
- Paul (10/5): - A lovely stay at a beautiful beachside resort. Our room was very spacious and clean, the only fault was a little roadside noise through the bathroom door. Staff were welcoming and happy to book trips, and the restaurant was very friendly and recommended for any mealtime (rib night in particular). An added bonus for us was the kittens - they could be ignored but if you’re a cat person they were there to fussed on the verandas and so tiny and adorable!
- Katy (8/5): Location, staff and food all wonderful. Bit noisy - Great place, cool little huts in a nice resort right on the beach. Staff were friendly and the food at the restaurant was really delicious. Only slight complaint was the noise; I was in cabin 9 and there might have been some kind of festival going on in the area because there was very loud music going on until long after midnight. Bit of a shame because it’s such a peaceful spot
- CHIAHO (10/5): Recommended if the location suits you. - Staves are very helpful and friendly, especially Noody. She gave us a very useful information. She also speaks very good English so very easy to communicate. Small hotel but room is specious. We chose this hotel mostly was due to the location where we needed to travel to join Full Moon Party. It is quite close to where we were taking the speed boat. Surroundings are restaurants, convenient stores, and massage place. Generally a very good stay.
- Ryan (10/5): Wish I could rate it higher - Best value out there. Wonderful location on Samui, so easy for travel to and from. I cannot say enough about this hotel, beautiful rooms, amazing staff and great food. They truly make you feel like you are at home when you are there. The beach is very nice for morning and evening walks, water is nice for swimming. Very easy scooter rental at the hotel. Everything very laid back. I will stay here again for sure when on Samui.
- shelley (10/5): Lovely hotel and staff!! Great food in restaurant! - Very cool bungalows!!! Would definitely stay here again, and great mojitos at the bar!!!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Very comfortable hotel right by the beach - Bungalows open right onto the pool. Next to the pool is the restaurant, and next to the restaurant is the beach. This hotel is perfect if you want time to relax and drag yourself between the pool, the beach, and the bar! The reception will also organise trips and tours if you want a more active time. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were very comfortable. The hotel is only about 15 minutes drive from the airport and about 5 minutes drive from the Big Buddha pier for Koh Tao / Pha Ngan ferries. The food in the restaurant, both Thai and western, is very good. All in all a perfect stay and I would love to return.
- Rachel (8/5): Pleasant hotel on a busy main road - A nice hotel that offered bungalow style rooms rather than a traditional block of rooms. The room was big and circular shaped with a large bed, flat screen TV, fridge and en-suite bathroom. Entrance to the room was through two large sliding glass doors overlooking the rest of the complex. Unfortunately, the doors only had large, heavy curtains to offer any privacy from outside, so when showering and dressing, the curtains had to be closed and all of the lights switched on, leaving little opportunity to have any natural light come in. Our room was directly opposite the reception and right on the main road; this was great if we needed something from reception and offered easy access to go out, but it was noisy with cars passing along the main road all night. The location of the hotel seemed good, though we took a taxi in to Chaweng for the evening. The hotel was close to the airport and boat pier and there appeared to be plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. We only stayed the one night, getting up the next day to leave for the airport. The bathroom had a power shower with an electric water heater, which was great! Until the water inexplicably stopped three times over the course of two showers. There was no warning and we were left standing, soapy and cold, wondering if it would come back on. A nice hotel in a good location, just be aware of the noise from the road and the intermittent showers
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Soft bed. Fun restaurant on the beach. Water pressure a little low but nothing you can't live with.
- Zackary (10/5): Fantastic value. Felt at home! - We had a great time at Secret Garden. The value for money is excellent and the service is fantastic - especially in the bar/restaurant. The food was fantastic so we ate the majority of our meals there and just enjoyed the beachfront view. The front desk didn't seem to know a lot about the available tours / things to do in the area which was a little strange, but since we mostly wanted a few days of relaxation by the beach / pool it wasn't an issue for us.
- Jonathan (8/5): Great place to stay! A Secret Gem. - Secret Garden was lovely, nice pool, though small, enough sun lounges, great beach! Room big and clean, my only negative would be the ones close to road, experience a lot of street noise, traffic and people. Other than that small thing, I would go back, just ask for a room further away from road. :-)
- thuy (10/5): Loved it! Very clean, modern and relaxing. - Very quiet and relaxing. A lil off the beaten path but really enjoyed it. Everything I needed! And there's a private beach in the back. Can't beat that! Saw a beautiful sunrise too.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great place to stay - Loved this resort...highly recommend it!
- Natalie (8/5): - We stayed as a couple for two nights and enjoyed our stay. The Secret Garden itself is great, the bungalows are a great size, the staff are brilliant and it's right on the beach. The area immediately outside the hotel is run down and not very busy, but it's close to the Fisherman's Village (not walking distance though and taxi's are a rip off) , Big Buddha Pier for trips to Koh Phangan and to the airport.
- Mary (8/5): Friendly hotel - I loved my stay at the Secret Garden with a friend. The food is excellent and the staff are so friendly and can't do enough for you. The hotel is right on the beach, which is quiet and ideal for swimming. The only negative factors are the noise from the road and surrounding bars. All the bungalows have been refurbished but could still go with a bit more storage space. The decor could also be a bit warmer, some of it is a bit utilitarian. But all in all I loved my stay here.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Beautiful hotel, but terribly disappointing ... - The hotel resort, rooms, and grounds are well maintained and beautiful. But, we both got a gastro illness off the restaurant's food (we had only eaten at their restaurant that day and had bottled water). When we requested a late check-out to deal with the fact that we were traveling that day and also terribly sick, they could not accommodate us. To make matters even worse, the hotel staff then requested that we pay for the restaurant bill that made us sick to begin with. Only after pushing back hard did they relent in giving us the food for free (which all ended up in their sewer system). That said, they should have reimbursed our night's stay. We were forced to wait for our flight and lie on couches in the hotel room bar for 6 hours making periodic trips to the washroom as we watched 3-4 rooms being cleaned and sitting empty and unused. I understand that illness from restaurants can happen anywhere, but their casual disregard for our well being was what was most galling. This place cared more about their bottom line than making right a situation that was clearly their fault.
- eric (8/5): great hotel in lackluster area - The hotel and staff were excellent the only negative I can give the hotel was the very poor water pressure on the shower. The area where the hotel is located is where my low marks come from. If you have your own transportation then it's a non issue but if you want restaurants and shopping within walking distance there is a limited choice
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice place to stay for transfer on smaller island. - Stayed for 2 days when the huge storms hit Koh Samui. Good location (the mini bus drops you 50m away from Secret garden for 100 baht from the airport which is cheap) and close to the pier to go to the other islands. With good location there is one downside about this and it's the noise which comes from the airport and from other bungalows. But if this doesn't bother you, for sure the busy street which is 10 meters away will. So if you want a quiet space, this is not for you. During the bad weather I have even noticed that the raindrops on the roof do a lot of noise, too. About the staff I can't complain because they are all really nice and helpful. In the restaurant the food is good and the music is really nice. The room looked really nice but it could be a little more soundproof and after a day you can realize that it doesn't have direct daylight which is romantic but sometimes can be disturbing.
- Madelin (10/5): Serenity and outstanding service - We stayed one night at Secret Garden after a whirlwind week vacation through Thailand. After staying in all sorts of bungalows, some without heated water, and even an overnight train ride, the serenity, comfort and cleanliness of Secret Garden was such a delight. The food at the beachside café/restaurant was great, and the service was outstanding. The receptionist(unfortunately I cannot recall her name) answered all of our questions about the surrounding area on Koh Samui, transportation, etc. and we even received a cute note wishing us a restful night written on a palm leaf before we turned in for bed. The man who showed us our room, Day, was also very nice and a joy to meet. He made sure all our questions were answered. The surrounding pool and beach areas were very well-kept and gorgeous. We both got an hourlong Thai oil massage right on the beach to the sound of waves for just 300 Baht (around $10-11 total) and it was heavenly. The only problem I had with this hotel was that our stay had to come to an end far too soon.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Wonderful, luxurious, and charming - This is a wonderful hotel on the north side of Koh Samui, very close to Big Buddha and situated on quiet Bangrak beach (the water is warm and the waves are gentle--perfect for swimming!). It is a gorgeous, recently renovated hotel that is quiet and peaceful. The private bungalows are so cute and only a few steps away from the beach! Most of the time we had a hard time leaving the hotel because the view and the beach were just too good! Also, all the staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend staying here, I can't wait to go back.
- Lisa (4/5): Noisy until 3am- spoilt the lovely setting - The hotel property was beautiful, staff helpful & friendly however we were unable to sleep until around 3am due to all the excessively loud partying until that time. Felt the cost of room was a total waste what with not being able to sleep or relax!!! Management need to consider ALL the guests. I believe ou pay for a room then you have a right to quiet and to be able to sleep. LP
- Jessica and Sam (10/5): Fantastic staff and great value for money - We had a fantastic stay. Exceptionally clean and had everything we needed. Great choice of food and drinks. Staff were first class, much better than anywhere else we visited. Would highly recommend.
